Women’s Owen Hart Tournament bracket to be revealed on AEW Rampage
Following the final women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament qualifying match on Friday’s AEW Rampage, the bracket will be revealed according to Tony Khan.
The AEW head was on Busted Open Radio Friday to promote Friday’s 5:30 PM Eastern show to reveal the news and also said the tournament would kick off Wednesday on Dynamite.
Riho will take on Yuka Sakazaki Friday with the winner joining the eight-woman field that includes Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm, Ruby Soho, Red Velvet and Hikaru Shida. There will also be a wild card/joker entrant much like AEW does in their Casino Ladder and Casino Battle Royale matches.
One first round match is already known as Hayter will take on Storm in a grudge match. A tag team match with Hayter and Baker vs. Storm and Soho will be the opener for tonight’s show.
The men’s tournament kicks off Wednesday as Jeff Hardy faces Darby Allin and Dax Harwood takes on Adam Cole.
Both tournament finals will take place at this month’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
